21. Position the flow control mounting bracket (figure 12).  
a. Push on flow control arm until it locks in "OFF"  
position.  
b. Slide flow control mounting bracket along tube  
until closure plate in bottom of hopper just closes.  
c. Snug the 1/4" lock nuts just enough to hold flow  
control mounting bracket in place.  
d. Set adjustable stop at "5". Pull flow control arm  
against stop. Verify that closure plate has opened  
about half way.  
e. If closure plate does not open half way, it may be  
closed too far at "OFF". Adjust position of flow  
control mounting bracket until closure plate will  
open about half way at "5" and still close when arm  
is locked in "OFF". Tighten 1/4" lock nuts.

OPERATION  
HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER  
SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL  
(Refer to figure 12 on page 7.)  
REFER  
TO  
CHARTS  
1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to  
the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut.  
The higher the setting number, the wider the opening  
in the bottom of the hopper.  
2. Refer to the application chart on page 8 and to the  
instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper  
flow rate setting.  
OVERLAP  
3. Pull the flow control arm against the adjustable stop for  
the on position and toward the hopper for the off  
position.  
USING YOUR SPREADER  
FIGURE 13  
We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn  
chemicals, due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or  
consistent broadcast pattern.  
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be  
covered and estimate amount of material required.  
2. Before filling the hopper make sure the flow control arm  
is in the off position and the closure plate is shut.  
3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.  
4. Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in  
the off position. Refer to the application chart on this  
page and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to  
select the proper flow rate setting.  
5. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy  
application at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23  
seconds. A variation in speed will require an adjust-  
ment of the flow rate to maintain the same coverage.  
The faster you drive, the wider the broadcast width.  
6. Always start the tractor in motion before opening  
closure plate.  
IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are  
affected by humidity and by the moisture content of  
the material (granular and pellet). Some minor set-  
ting adjustments may be necessary to compensate  
for this condition.  
APPLICATION CHART (SHIELD UP)  
7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stop-  
ping the tractor.

WIDTH  
8. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a  
small area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden  
hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.  
9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that  
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from  
the previous pass as shown in figure 13. The approxi-  
matebroadcastwidthsfordifferentmaterialsareshown  
in the application chart on this page.

11. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over  
the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover  
(available as an accessory) acts as a wind and mois-  
ture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover.  
Refer to the parts list on page 11.

MAINTENANCE  
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
1. If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is  
disassembled, mark down the positions of the parts as  
they are removed. The drive wheel and sprocket  
positions in relation to the slotted gear determine which  
direction the spreader plate will spin. Be sure to reas-  
semble them in their original positions. (Refer to figure  
4 on page 5.) Use shim washers (Ref. no. 21 on pages  
10 and 11) as needed for minimum backlash. Add  
grease to gear and sprocket.  
CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS  
1. Before each use make a thorough visual check of the  
spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have  
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.  
CHECK FOR WORN OF DAMAGED PARTS  
2. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.  
Repair or replace parts if necessary.  
CHECK TIRE INFLATION  
2. If the agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can be  
replaced. Loosen the 3/8" hex nut on top of sprocket  
shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove old agitator  
wire from hole in agitator sleeve and replace with new  
agitator wire. Position agitator wire so that sprocket  
shaft turns freely, then tighten 3/8" hex nut on top of  
sprocket shaft. See figure 15.  
3. Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use.  
Do not inflate beyond maximum recommended pres-  
sure.  
CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires be-  
yond the maximum recommended pres-  
sure printed on side of tire.  
CLEANING  
4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and dry  
SPROCKET  
SHAFT  
off before storing.  
LUBRICATE (See figure 14.)  
5. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the  
3/8" HEX NUT  
sprocket and gear.  
6. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft  
and on the axle at least once a year, or more often as  
needed.  
7. Oil right hand (idler) wheel bearing at least once a year  
or more often as needed.
